Wednesday, June 9, 2004 at 4:40 PM First, long time fan of the show. Newbe to the companion.
I am in the army and I had just got home from a tour in Iraq. While I was there I had my wife checking all the music stores for "best of" loveline in cd. She came up with nothing and I have not had any better luck. I will be going back to Iraq with in a year and do not want to get stuck another tour without the wisdom and humor of Dr.Drew and Adam....anyone now where to find such things?? —Leo12181 |

Wednesday, June 9, 2004 at 4:45 PM Here's what you need to do: 1. Download DC++.
2. Set it up.
3. Download HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of shows until you have THOUSANDS! This will take about a few days if you leave your computer on 24/7 during those days. 4. Burn those shows onto a CD.
5. Enjoy! —j4k3 |

Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 6:22 AM In regard to step 4... Wouldn't one need to burn an MP3 cd? A regular CD in Redbook Audio format only holds 80 minutes of audio, which isn't enough for one show, even without commercial breaks. —Dark Laith |

Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 9:19 AM You could always do time compression. —Jeremy |

Edited Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 10:46 AM time compression would SUCK. Can you use an mp3 player or ipod or something like that? If so, you could fit a shit-ton (it's an industry term) of shows on it. Each show is ~35MB depending on the bitrate. Even on a 700MB cd this is 20 shows. A 20 GB ipod/mp3 player would be about 600! Of course you could always just span episodes across CD's -- just label em in order and you'll be all set. The CF shows are about 90-100 min long, so 9 cd's will hold 7 shows. More work to do this though, as most cd burn apps don't let you write a file that won't fit so you would have to cut em apart. The best option is to get a mp3 player. They are cheap (well...) and smaller than cd players. And thank you by the way, for serving in the army. You all have my support. —NJC |

Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 11:36 AM Time compressing a 95 minute show to 80 minutes really isn't that bad. Obviously an MP3 player would be better, but a time compressed show is certainly listenable when you need to do it. Just as long as the software you use actually does time compression, while leaving the pitch alone. A show that was time compressed by just playing it faster would not be that great to listen to. —Jeremy |

Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 5:30 PM I was actually going to make a post about my experiences doing this. I haven't heard the term "time compressing" but I think that's what I did. I was going on the road and wanted a show to listen to. I picked the last show (Alanis Morissette). I took the ~92 minute commercial free version, then took out the song and any excess bumper music to get me down to about 88 minutes. Then I did a "Delete Silence" on the file and got rid of about another 10 minutes. I'm using Cool Edit Pro (now bought out by Adobe and known as Adobe Audition) The settings I used for the silence deletion was defining "silence" as signal below -40.1 dB for more 140 ms and defining audio as signal above -40 dB for more than 25 ms. Using those settings should shave several minutes off, but you may need to lower the threshold for silence to shave off enough to get to 80 minutes (depending on the file). Other than poor audio quality from coming from a low bitrate source, when I listened to the show I could rarely notice any places where the deleted silence was noticeable. If I hadn't known I modified the file, I would have probably had no idea it was any different. —puck71 |

Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 5:57 PM "Time compressing" sounds like what they have on learning foreign language CD's. You can speed up or slow down the rate the words are spoken. The pitch doesn't change as it would with the old tape technology. The result can be mistaken for a change in pitch if applied to an extreme degree. Speeding it up to shorten time and space can sound like chirps. There is a threshold where either too slow or too fast becomes difficult to comprehend. If this were available as part of a CD burner compression it would be most effective with dialogue. I would not want to listen to many songs altered in such a manner. —Cracked |

Monday, June 14, 2004 at 2:12 PM Maybe you could buy a bunch of those small 240 MB (24 minutes) CDs and just burn separate segments onto them, heh. —Dark Laith |
